Daimler D.I
The Daimler D.I,
company designation L6, was a German fighter aircraft of World War I.
It was a conventional biplane design with a very small interplane gap – the top wing nearly touched the top of the fuselage.
Power was provided by a Daimler D.IIIb water-cooled V-8 engine.
Production commenced in 1918.
Six examples were built by the time of the Armistice, at which time production was abandoned.
